FAQ

What is the California Ebike Incentive Project?

The California E-Bike Incentive Project is a statewide consumer-facing incentive program that aims to provide point-of-sale voucher incentives — for the purchase of electric bicycles (e-bikes) — to residents in disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households with an annual household income of less than 300% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Eligible applicants can receive up to $2,000 in incentives.

Can I stack my voucher with other deals that Rad is offering?

Any discount on a Rad electric bike that’s active at time of purchase can be combined with your voucher discount. Incentive voucher funds can be stacked with other programs that applicants may qualify for. However, these funds cannot be stacked with any other CARB led incentive programs, such as Clean Cars 4 All (CC4A). The total amount of stacked benefits cannot exceed the total purchase price of e-bike and other eligible items.

Can I use my voucher towards bike accessories?

Incentive funds can be applied as a discount at the time of purchase towards the cost of an e-bike that meets program criteria, and e-bike related accessories including– helmet, bike lock, racks, fenders, reflective clothing, rear light (if not equipped), assembly and delivery fees, and any sales taxes associated with these purchases. Eligible accessories must be purchased at the same time as the voucher redemption for the e-bike. The incentive voucher cannot be used in a separate purchase of e-bike accessories. Limited to one item per accessory type.

Do I still owe local taxes on bike purchase?

Taxes on the full original value of the bike, before voucher discount, will be due at sale. Even if the amount you pay for the bike comes to $0, we must collect the sales tax for the price of the bike before your $1 750 or $2,000 rebate is applied. If you have remaining voucher funds, taxes are an eligible expense for this incentive.
